So the genetically engineered super-soldiers with uber tech, giants, warships and being the brain child of Kerensky doesn't count? The Clans were a Sue-gasm. They had to be constantly deus ex machina because they were so Sue even the writers and developers later admitted it was over the top.

Have...have you read any falcon novels? Dude, they're icarus. They embrace the crazy, the crazy gets them places, and then they fly too high and burn their wings off.

Ain't no mary sue what tragedy becomes.

The Falcons only failed because the authors sued the wolfes even more - an VSD even more

If the Main authors would have been fans of parrots Kell would have been captured by them and Kerensky would have been a falcon bloodname

Order of clans that I'd like to see running things.

In theory of course...

Wolverine - they were the only legit clan, Nick ****** everything up. I hate Michigan and XMen, so don't get any ideas, either.

Nova Cat - they eventually realized how ******* stupid the other clans were, and weren't afraid to call that out. Cost them their existence eventually, but still. Balls.

Goliath Scorpion... excellent pilots, they take drugs and go on quests... I respect that more than these fanatical crusader clans.

Mongoose - those guys were hilarious, I mean really. Same as Ice Hellions.

Blood Spirit - nothing says "idgaf" like the Spirits.

PS - I find it disappointing that the only 4 clans we have to choose from in MWO are either completely ******** (Smoke Jaguar, Ghost Bear), complete fanatical weaboos (Jade Falcon), or pretentious douches (Wolf).

It's cool, we're already so far in to the invasion we may as well just enact the mongol doctrine.

It'd be nice if Nova Cats and Steel Derps also invaded... maybe say, a bit after Clan Wave 3 is live in game... I'd be content with that. Then again, that doesn't really serve an actual function that would translate well to the game, as far as I can tell. =/

Wolverine is cool cause they told Nicolas straight in his face that he can F himself and then they walked out of the grand council and then their Khan is like "get my ship i got to get the hell out of here".....(arrives in IS space) "huuuhh hi we are the Minnesota tribe"

Actually there was no proof they turned into the Word of Blake. Uncle Chandy(sp?) from the Draconis Combine "leaked" some documents to the Ghost Bears during the Jihad that said they were. This of course caused the Ghost Bears to join the fight against the Wobbies. However after the battle the Ghost Bears started genetic testing everything they could find and found *0* DNA evidence that anybody from the Wolverine Blood Lines were there.

In other words the entire thing looks like... "Oh yeah, you guys have a group you hate and will rage at the idea if they are around... yeah.. yeah.. these guys we hate and are fighting are TOTALLY part of that group.. yeah.. that's the ticket. Say you're going to fight for us now? That's great! I TOTS didn't expect that.. hehehehe...."

Word of Blake cabal[edit]

During the Word of Blake Jihad, Chandrasekhar Kurita would supposedly uncover a series of unconfirmed documents of questionable provenance that apparently revealed the fate of the Wolverines. Indicating the survivors who fled Clan-space indeed reached the Inner Sphere as the so-called "Minnesota Tribe", the document claims that ComStar, rather than losing the trail met and offered the Wolverines refuge. Upon reaching Terra and settling on Mars, while many of the Wolverines were content to merely rest, scientist and leader of the exiled Clan's civilian population Peter Marillier forged a plan that would transform the Wolverines into a secret faction within ComStar The so-called Blood that would first aid then co-opt the organization from within, directing it to ultimate dominion over both the Inner Sphere and Clans.[9]

Despite a lack of any solid proof and large question marks as to its providence, Chandrasekhar Kurita and Devlin Stone would pass this document to Clan Ghost Bear in 3074, taking the Bears by complete surprise. While previously staying aloof from the maelstrom of the Jihad, the apparent revelation that their most sworn enemy were the driving force behind the Word of Blake prompted them to plunge full-force into the conflict. Despite Ghost Bear scientists genetically testing the remains of every Blakist defeated to try and authenticate the report, no conclusive evidence was ever found linking the Word of Blake to Clan Wolverine.

[Kenyon Burguess]

where does every house and clan buy their new shiny equipment? who provides transportation to houses, clans and mercenaries for a premium cost? who trades information that changes the course of war for every faction? if you said diamond shark, then your todays winner of which clan actually controls the ebb and flow of the entire battletech universe.

[Alexander Steel]

Depends on the Time line. In 3050-3057 Diamond shark wasn't transporting IS units around.

It doesn't matter which clan you clans prefer to be IllKlan, it is going to be Smoke Jaguar or Jade Falcon for sure.
Wolf and Bear have no chance. Just look at the Galactic Map and its obvious.

Did you actually look at the 'Galactic Map' you reference?
